There was and is only one Rahul Dravid. There can be no other. I will miss Rahul in the dressing room and out in the middle. - Sachin Tendulkar

Dravid is obviously one of India's greatest batsmen - great in all
conditions - and one who scored runs runs everywhere. From a personal
perspective, Rahul is one of the best men I've ever worked with... he's
not only a great cricketer, but a great man. - John Wright

He's probably the nicest guy - no, he is the nicest guy - that I've met
in cricket. He's a phenomenal man. He loves the game with so much
passion, it's in his blood and in his heart. - Shane Watson

He was the guy youngsters in the dressing room looked up to. Sachin
would always be the guy who inspired awe. But a lot of players knew
Sachin was something special, while they could all be Rahul Dravid.
Rahul was one of them, working hard - there really is going to be a big
void in Indian cricket now. - Sunil Gavaskar

He was a totally selfless cricketer. He has been very helpful and never said no to anyone and always gave his best. - Bapu Nadkarni

It's a bold decision. He probably doesn't feel he has no cricket left.
He is making way for the youngsters, which is amazing. It's sort of an
example for many others. - Anshuman Gaekwad

There cannot be another Rahul Dravid. He is a legend. As a youngster, I
learnt a lot from him. Bowling to him, talking to him, sharing the
dressing room...anything cannot be better than that. I personally feel
there cannot be another Rahul Dravid. - Pragyan Ojha

Jam, it was a pleasure & privilege to have played with u and ur
presence in the dressing room always added to our confidence. Will miss u
lots. - Virender Sehwag

Congrats to Rahul Dravid on an amazing career! You will be missed. Fantastic person and Cricketer! India's #wall - Yuvraj Singh

Rahul Dravid retires... cricket loses one of its finest batsmen; sport, one of its finest gentlemen. - Jeffrey Archer

"Rahul Dravid retires.. the world's most respected cricketer over the last 20 (years). - Michael Vaughan

Respected Sir , I am not sure whether a 15 year old like me has the age or experience to wish u sir. Till yesterday I thought I was ur greatest fan with love and pride but all these legends words have shattered my pride and my cocky ability and all that remains is tears in my eyes. You are India's GREAT WALL built with patience , humility , determination and selflessness as cement , brick , paint and as mason . Not only Indians but all the cricket lovers would not be able to see a slim , dynamic and simple man wearing Indian jersey and playing the game with love on the game hereafter . Now we have to keep Dravids words " Patience has its reward " . We have to wait 10 months after every May to see the wall in blues and play in IPL . A person need not have to be an expert in cricket to love this legend..........
